Rapper Machine Gun Kelly is postponing three concerts after sustaining a painful chest injury on a movie set last week.

“I have seen multiple doctors in attempt to speed up my recovery process,” he wrote on Twitter Thursday night, “I was advised to take one month off to make sure I fully recovered but you know that’s not how I rock. Unfortunately I do have to postpone these first three shows (Fargo, Clive & Tulsa) to the end of this run.”

His rep told Page Six he suffered a contusion and hairline fracture of the sternum/breast plate while shooting a fight scene for the film “Captive State.” The injury caused him to collapse backstage in the middle of performance last weekend.

“The dates were postponed as he would not be able to perform at the level he is used to or that his fans have come to expect from him,” the rep said Friday.

On Monday the 27-year-old tweeted, “In the hospital right now trying to figure it all out. thanks for the concern and the love. ima be straight tho, y’all know me.”

The next day he continued, “It feels like a f—–g knife is just stuck in the left side of my chest.”

The shows in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Clive, Iowa were moved to May, while the third rescheduled date in Fargo, North Dakota hasn’t been announced yet.
